[PATCHv3 1/2] net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks

From: Jiri Olsa <hidden>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: atm, networking [general], networking [sockets], networking [tcp], networking [unix sockets], rxrpc sockets (af_rxrpc), s390 iucv network layer, the rest · Maintainers: Chas Williams, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Kuniyuki Iwashima, Willem de Bruijn, Neal Cardwell, David Howells, Marc Dionne, Alexandra Winter, Thorsten Winkler, Linus Torvalds

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sock_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt 
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.


CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.


Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
	net/irda/af_irda.c
	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
	net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c
	net/phonet/socket.c
	net/rds/af_rds.c
	net/rfkill/core.c
	net/sunrpc/cache.c
	net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c
	net/tipc/socket.c

jirka
